National Museum of the American Indian - June 12, 2010

I went to the National Museum of the American Indian (One Bowling Green
New York, NY 10004 -- admission is FREE) with some friends; the exhibit on the horse was super-interesting, with lots of awesome things to see and learn about (intricately beaded / quilled / feathered horse masks and saddles, the horse as a "big dog", one man stealing 50 horses from Nazi SS officers).


The
HIDE: Skin as Material and Metaphor exhibit was fascinating and beautiful: I especially liked the artist who used walrus stomach, hides of polar bear / elk / marten /seal, porcupine quills, and human hair in her work.

Then we took a walk around Battery Park.
